Nottingham Forest took a 1-0 lead over West Ham on Sunday thanks to Taiwo Awoniyi’s first goal since his return to the Premier League.
After securing a transfer from Union Berlin, the Super Eagles striker became the club’s most expensive player this summer.
Although he was left out for their first game at Newcastle United, Steve Cooper opted to start him against the Hammers.
Just before the break, Awoniyi was rewarded for his bustling runs, as he bumbled home a miscued effort from Jesse Lingard.
Toffolo was the creator, aiming at Lingard, but it was Awoniyi who applied the telling touch – the least he deserves following a vivacious first-half display.
